HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- Huntsville Superintendent Casey Wardynski presented a proposal for new school zone lines in front of a full crowd Thursday evening in hopes of ending federal oversight still required by a 1970 desegregation order.

Butler High School and McDonnell Elementary would close under the plan if the U.S. Department of Justice agrees with the proposal. View more on zone line changes here.
